Game always stops responding at start up.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Everytime I lanch the game I see the Arma3 logo, it starts loading addons, then I get a black screen (probably the game's screen) and nothing happens. In task manager I see that the program has stopped responding.
I have tryied many solutions but nothing seems to work.
It's been more than 4-5 months now (since I bought the game through steam) and, no matter whatever updates have been since then, nothing has changed. {F24842} {F24843} {F24844}

I have this issue as well, and for me it shows the "stopped responding" message just after receiving a mission file in MP as well.

In both cases I just leave it for +/- 30 seconds and it will continue on it's own.

I don't think it will help you much, but I thought I'll share this.

Hey,
does your game actually crash? It seems that there is some problem with your graphic card detection, but without crashdumps I cannot say what can be causing it.
Could you please try to start Arma with -nobenchmark parameter? You can find how to use parameters here:

Please let me know, thank you.

@Stuffedsheep,
your game is probably crashing, could you please create a new ticket for your issue?

Even though I have tryied that before, I did it again with no results.
Nothing changed.

Could you please upload your Dx-Diag file?

@Iceman,
I've done some searching, and it's not a game crash. When the game is loading it just takes a bit longer, and windows doesn't receive any information from the app(Arma3) in that loading time. That's when it displays the "stopped responding" message. Then when the game has finished loading (the Addons part, lots of files) windows receives information again and it removes the "Stopped working" box and continues on like normal.

so the best way to fix this for me is to tell windows that it should give ArmA3 more time before windows deems it unresponsive.

If you want I can make a new issue, but I have looked through the RPT files myself and showed them to a few of my friends and we couldn't find anything wrong with ArmA3.

I have uploaded the file.

It would be great if you could make the new issue (if it is needed), since you can describe the situation better than me. Concerning the windows not giving enough time to arma3, what should I do to change that?

Did that help in any way?

Could you please try to upload newest rpt from the time of the crash? There have been some changes and hopefully we will be able to get some data.

Latest .rtp uploaded, I hope something to change.

So far the crash is the same.
